Charles Estienne Houdelette, Huguenot, was the 
founder of the Houdlette family in America. 

A fac-simile of his signature (from a document dated 
June 1, 1754) appears on the title-page. 

He was born in France in 1707, and during the persecu- 
tion of Huguenots that followed the hollow Peace of 1748 
fled with his family to Germany, thence by the way of 
Rotterdam to Boston, landing there in 1751. He settled 
in what is now Dresden, Maine, where he died in 1784.

children, four daughters and one son. 

This son, Albert Houdlett, is now (1909) Uving in Brooklyn, N.Y. This 
family may be descendants of Charles Estienne's brother who fled with him 
from France.
